Gallows View: Inspector Banks, Book 1

Former London policeman Alan Banks relocated to Yorkshire seeking some small measure of peace. But depravity and violence are unfortunately not unique to large cities. His new venue, the quaint little village of Eastvale, seems to have more than its fair share of malefactors---among them a brazen Peeping Tom who hides in night's shadows spying on attractive, unsuspecting ladies as they prepare for bed.

A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled

Five hundred years ago no one died of stress: we have invented this concept, and now we let it rule us. Rest has become a dirty word, and our idea of satisfaction is answering the last email. We're sleepwalking through our own lives. Ruby Wax shows us how to wake up from this stupor with a scientific solution to modern problems: mindfulness.

Publisher's Summary

Shortlisted for Audible's Listen of the Year, 2006.

The French TeacherStarting a new term can be a depressing time for any school boy, but things start to look up for Olli and Mick as they catch a glimpse of their new French teacher. Finding her in an embarrassing situation, they are taken on an erotic ride with this French vixen.

The KimonoNicky, and her husband Simon, had spoken on many occasions about each other's fantasies. Most of them involved just the two of them, but there were a few which were a little more adventurous. They booked themselves into a hotel room and sent Simon out to find two girls to join them.

The Hotel RoomHaving been caught on the beach, they ran inside the nearest bar where they met a beautiful couple who liked to do more than share stories. Tied to the chair in the middle of the hotel room, she enjoyed all three of them. Ending on the bed for group sex, both girls were given a wild time.

Club EroticaNick's brother had recommended a club in Soho, saying he and Emma would have never seen anything like it. In order to gain entry, Emma had to gain the secret camera's approval. Once inside, the club was filled with hundreds of beautiful people, with slave men and women serving them. Having been tied and whipped, Emma was brought to Nick...

Birthday SurpriseFor her birthday he promised her a day she wouldn't forget. With a champagne dinner, dancing, and a hot bath, she thought he'd given her everything. However, there was one more present that she was to receive. Blindfolded, he introduced her to a whole new experience!

For Adults Only: Explicit language. Must be 18 years of age to purchase.

My wife has little to no interest in Pornography, but this audio erotica is the perfect answer. Is it wild, sexy, and very filthy. I would recommend it to anyone to listen to alone, or with their partners!!

Just wanted to say......loved it. Very sexual, arousing, and yet using quality erotica rather than resorting to 'foul language' which is so often done.
10 out of 10 in my eyes, and my wife's too! When's the next one coming out?

This was a gift to me by my husband... and wow what a gift. It was a complete surprise and I was shocked at first, but it ended up being a really amusing gift. It is well written, and well read, and so we are already looking out for the next batch...

This selection of short stories is dull, derivative and unoriginal. Each is virtually a cliched parody - not even a tiny spark of free thinking seems possible.

Every story uses the same, dull, uninventive formula - with a lamentable lack of vocabulary.

It's hardly a suprise that they are 'unabridged' - since each story is so short that it's hard to see what could be cut out.

If read aloud, these stories would sound laughable. They are not 'erotic', but soft porn - except that no other medium would publish them.

Given that there exists a wide variety of proper, authenic, erotic literature, it's hard to see why this selection warrants inclusion. It has no merit as literature - each story could have been banged out (no pun intended) in 20 mins by just about anyone.

Sadly, their inclusion on the site suggests both a cynical attempt to make money, combined with a complete lack of backbone to publish more challenging material.

If this is the best the site feels comfortable with, I suggest they dump the entire section and focus their efforts in other directions.

As commented elsewhere each story is a little short, but each had something to offer, albeit The French Teacher was probably a little too far fetched! My favourite was The Birthday Surprise. Well read, the narrator had a sexy soft voice which added enjoyment to the "listen". Worth a listen either alone or cuddled up to a significant other!

I totally enjoyed the audio book, it was tastefully written and read without being vulgar and dirty! I read all the past reviews and was surprised at Beryl's review. It all depends on each individuals expectations and for me mine were fully met. I only listen to one short story a week or I get too excited for the other half to handle. Livened up our dormant sex life!
